Agriculture is vital to India's economy but is currently hindered by major challenges such as deteriorating soil fertility, inefficient resource utilization, and limited technology adoption. Intensive agricultural practices, excessive use of chemical fertilizers, and inadequate soil management have led to significant soil degradation and nutrient loss. Water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall further compound these problems, with traditional farming methods often resulting in wasted resources and reduced crop yields. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in soil fertility monitoring provides a promising solution. IoT systems use smart sensors to continuously monitor crucial soil parameters like nutrient levels, moisture, temperature, and pH in real-time. This data-centric approach improves soil health monitoring, optimizes the use of fertilizers and water, and promotes sustainable farming practices. Additionally, advanced analytics and machine learning can forecast soil health trends, allowing for proactive soil management. By adopting IoT technology, Indian agriculture can enhance soil management, increase resource efficiency, and boost productivity, ensuring food security and economic stability for millions of farmers.
